This will make you climb stairs.
Posted by roanne in Beauty Reviews, Personal Moods, Stockholm, Sweden on October 20, 2009
However, relying always on machines with less to no effort makes us very lazy individuals, isn’t it? Even though we normally break a sweat whilst doing the ancient norm, it makes us healthier and tougher in practice. We always complain about being too busy to take some time off for exercise, but don’t we consider choosing stairs over shiny escalators as one to start with? 
Well, these piano stairs in Stockholm will make you climb stairs. The only answer to shift someone’s behaviour is FUN! 
Wow, it makes me wanna go to Sweden. Can someone pull off a Fur Elise given the limited octave? 
I don’t think so, but a simple Do-Re-Mi or Chopsticks would be really, really nice and “fun” nonetheless!
I believe this holds true to work or any other given chores. In order to make someone productive, you should give him/her a job which he/she considers as FUN. Revolutionize boring tasks now! 
Review: Skinfood Black Sugar Wash-Off Mask
Posted by roanne in Beauty Reviews, Product Reviews, Skin Care, Skinfood on March 24, 2009
Right now, I’m heaped with beauty topic ideas to blog on. One product I dearly remember is this wash-off mask from Skinfood.
Skinfood, a Korean beauty product brand, has been making raves here in the Philippines. The Skinfood BB Cream was the first blemish balm cream available in the Philippines, as far as I’m concerned. As soon as I got ahold of one, I also tried using product samples included in my purchase.
One of which was the Skinfood Black Sugar Mask. It’s an exfoliating wash-off scrub-slash-mask that leaves skin clean and revitalized. It has this sugar bits that thoroughly sloughs off oil and grime from the skin, whilst its self-heating properties allow pores to open and allow the mask’s vitamins and minerals to be absorbed by the skin.
Using it is quite simple. After cleansing, gently scrub onto the skin; let it sit for about 10-15 minutes; and finally, wash it off with lukewarm water. Avoid over-scrubbing as the sugar/salt bits may abrade your skin, causing irritation and more skin damage. And, when I say “gentle”, I mean slowly and carefully scrubbing your skin. On the other hand, I will not recommend this product to those with sensitive skin types.
Likes
I love the exfoliating properties of Skinfood Black Sugar Mask. You can actually feel it scrubbing against your skin, and it really leaves a smooth and polished texture afterwards. I also did not experience any itching or discomfort while letting the product sit in for about 10 minutes [as a mask]. Lastly, it’s really easy to rinse off and leaves the skin squeaky clean without over-drying it. It does not leave a slippery, soap-like feel, unlike other wash-off masks.
Dislikes
The only thing I dislike about this product is the smell. It’s disturbing, IMHO. It really has a medicated scent. 
Skinfood Black Sugar Mask is best used occasionally. I don’t see using it regularly, lest it may irritate my skin in the long run due to its not-so-fine sugar scrub particles. I can use it a night before a special occasion, as it delivers instant results–such as a well-polished, glowing look.
In the meantime, check some of the newest anti-aging arsenals and how to get a timeless, youthful look.
Three gifts I love.
Posted by roanne in Beauty Reviews, Philosophy, Techie Stuff, iPod Touch on December 30, 2008
Well, anyhoos, it’s not that I give because I expect something in return. Hey, Christmas is more of giving rather than receiving. I think maturity befalls me so easily that I never ever expect a gift in return, and it’s okay. I really don’t care about the present. Rather, I appreciate the thought of giving more than anything else.
Enough gab and drama, I actually splurged one for myself. It’s a Birthday-slash-Christmas gift since I think I ought to be very selfish at times. So, I got myself an iPod Touch.
*iPod Touch is LOVE.*
